Polyamide
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000283
A synthetic polymer characterized by amide linkages, widely used in additive manufacturing due to its strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Nylon is a common type of polyamide, frequently processed via powder bed fusion or material extrusion. These materials are often chosen for functional prototypes and end-use parts requiring durability.
